Found this on php.net:

 

<?php
function send_mail($to, $body, $subject, $fromaddress, $fromname, $attachments=false)
{
  $eol="\r\n";
  $mime_boundary=md5(time());

  # Common Headers
  $headers .= "From: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "Return-Path: ".$fromname."<".$fromaddress.">".$eol;    // these two to set reply address
  $headers .= "Message-ID: <".time()."-".$fromaddress.">".$eol;
  $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol;          // These two to help avoid spam-filters

  # Boundry for marking the split & Multitype Headers
  $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'.$eol.$eol;
  $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$mime_boundary."\"".$eol.$eol;

  # Open the first part of the mail
  $msg = "--".$mime_boundary.$eol;

  $htmlalt_mime_boundary = $mime_boundary."_htmlalt"; //we must define a different MIME boundary for this section
  # Setup for text OR html -
  $msg .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."\"".$eol.$eol;

  # Text Version
  $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
  $msg .= strip_tags(str_replace("<br>", "\n", substr($body, (strpos($body, "<body>")+6)))).$eol.$eol;

  # HTML Version
  $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary.$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1".$eol;
  $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit".$eol.$eol;
  $msg .= $body.$eol.$eol;

  //close the html/plain text alternate portion
  $msg .= "--".$htmlalt_mime_boundary."--".$eol.$eol;

  if ($attachments !== false)
  {
    for($i=0; $i < count($attachments); $i++)
    {
      if (is_file($attachments[$i]["file"]))
      {  
        # File for Attachment
        $file_name = substr($attachments[$i]["file"], (strrpos($attachments[$i]["file"], "/")+1));
       
        $handle=fopen($attachments[$i]["file"], 'rb');
        $f_contents=fread($handle, filesize($attachments[$i]["file"]));
        $f_contents=chunk_split(base64_encode($f_contents));    //Encode The Data For Transition using base64_encode();
        $f_type=filetype($attachments[$i]["file"]);
        fclose($handle);
       
        # Attachment
        $msg .= "--".$mime_boundary.$eol;
        $msg .= "Content-Type: ".$attachments[$i]["content_type"]."; name=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol;  // sometimes i have to send MS Word, use 'msword' instead of 'pdf'
        $msg .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64".$eol;
        $msg .= "Content-Description: ".$file_name.$eol;
        $msg .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"".$eol.$eol; // !! This line needs TWO end of lines !! IMPORTANT !!
        $msg .= $f_contents.$eol.$eol;
      }
    }
  }

  # Finished
  $msg .= "--".$mime_boundary."--".$eol.$eol;  // finish with two eol's for better security. see Injection.

  # SEND THE EMAIL
  ini_set(sendmail_from,$fromaddress);  // the INI lines are to force the From Address to be used !
  $mail_sent = mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);

  ini_restore(sendmail_from);

  return $mail_sent;
}
?>

i use a class called htmlMimeMail which takes out much of the mime pain:

 

	include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/htmlMimeMail.php");
	$mail = new htmlMimeMail();

	$attachment_file = $mail->getFile($upload_dir . $local_file);
	$mail->addAttachment($attachment_file, $local_file, 'application/octet-stream');
	$mail->setText($message);
	$mail->setReturnPath($return_address);

	// Set some head
	$mail->setFrom($return_address);
	$mail->setSubject($subject);

	$result = $mail->send(array($recipient));
